So some people may have noticed a poster in Lion’s Arch with very tiny letters that aren’t English letters. After looking through the forums, someone managed to translate the Krytan alphabet into English. Curae.1837 has done some nice work with the help of Brimstone.3706 to translate the entire poster!

It reads:

Avast!
Ahoy all ye landlubbers
The hardworking members of the consortium
are proud to accounce the upcoming unveiling
of your dream vacation! Coming soon we will
open te gate – the asuragate connecting
Lion’s Arch to a veritable tropical paradise

The Lost Shores event starts friday, and it looks pretty legit. Defend Lions Arch, go to the new map and beat some karka ass, and dive into the new dungeon (for lvl 80’s)!

What I think we should be interested in the most as semi-hardcore Acrossians is the new “Ascend” gear. This gear is pink in color and has substantially better stats than the normal gear. We will only be able to score a ring and a back slot accessory version of this new gear for the time being, but it sure as hell looks worth it. Here is a side by side that was on the GW2 wiki showing the difference in stats from exotic to ascend gear.
